| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Wood & Privacy Fence Installation | From $29/ft | Tampa humidity never really lets untreated wood dry out, so we treat every board before it goes up. In Hyde Park and Seminole Heights we still hang board-on-board privacy where the neighborhood expects it, set on concrete footings sized for hurricane wind. |
| Vinyl & PVC Fence Installation | From $40/ft | Vinyl holds up to Tampa's humidity better than wood, which is why it's common across the ranch-ring subdivisions. We set posts in concrete over the sandy soil and loose karst ground here, sized to handle hurricane-season wind rather than any frost line. |
| Chain Link Fence Installation | From $17/ft | Chain link works well on the flat, low lots common through Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. We set posts in concrete to handle sandy soil that gives little grip on its own, keeping the line straight through hurricane-season wind. |
| Aluminum & Ornamental Iron Fencing | From $44/ft | Aluminum and ornamental iron shrug off Tampa's humidity in a way painted wood never does. We set posts deep enough to stand against hurricane wind, matching styles seen from Hyde Park's bungalows to the newer Pasco subdivisions. |
| Fence Repair | From $475 | Fence repair in Tampa usually means a post loosened in sandy soil or a panel racked by hurricane-season wind. We reset the post in fresh concrete, straighten or replace damaged panels, and match the repair to your existing fence line. |
| Storm Damage Fence Repair | Free storm damage assessment | Hurricane and tropical storm wind is the main reason fences fail in Tampa, not frost or freeze. We assess downed sections after a storm, reset posts in the sandy ground, and rebuild to the same wind rating as before. |
| Fence Post Repair & Replacement | From $475 | A leaning post in Tampa is almost always a failed concrete footing in loose sandy soil, not frost. We dig out the old footing, reset the post in fresh concrete sized for Tampa's karst-influenced ground, and match it to the rest of your fence. |
| Gate Installation & Repair | From $495 | A gate is usually the first part of a Tampa fence to fail, since hurricane-season wind loads the hinge post hardest. We reset the hinge post in fresh concrete, square the frame, and adjust hardware so it swings true through storm season. |
| Automatic & Driveway Gates | From $2,950 | Automatic driveway gates in Tampa need posts set deep enough to stand up to hurricane-season wind, not frozen ground. We wire openers to handle daily thunderstorm outages and set the posts in concrete to hold through hurricane season. |
| Pool Fence Installation | From $36/ft | Tampa pool fencing has to satisfy the pool barrier code that applies at your address, not just look good in the yard. We set posts in concrete over sandy soil, size gaps and latch height to that code, and keep the barrier up through hurricane wind. |
| Fence Replacement & Removal | From $2,500 | Fence replacement in Tampa often starts with pulling out old wood that hurricane wind and humidity have already ruined. We remove the old fence, haul it away, and set the new line in concrete footings sized for sandy soil and storm wind. |
| Fence Staining & Restoration | From $1,000 | Tampa humidity and live oak shade gray and warp untreated wood fast, so staining needs redoing more often here. We clean, treat, and reseal the wood to slow graying and warping, matching stain color for bungalow and ranch-style fences alike. |
| Commercial & Temporary Fencing | Free site quote | Commercial fencing in Tampa has to stand up to thunderstorm wind and low, sandy ground. We set up site security and temporary barriers rated for daily storms and hurricane season, sized to job sites across Hillsborough and Pinellas counties. |
| Farm & Ranch Fencing | From $13/ft | Farm and ranch fencing out toward Pasco has to handle sandy soil, drainage easements, and canal or pond lot lines. We set posts in concrete over that loose sandy ground and build lines that hold livestock through hurricane-season wind. |
What Affects the Price
- Material Type : Wood privacy fences, vinyl, chain link, and ornamental iron have different price points. Vinyl and ornamental metals cost more upfront but require less maintenance, while chain link offers budget-friendly durability.
- Fence Length and Linear Footage : Most installations are priced per linear foot. Longer projects may qualify for modest per-foot discounts, and site conditions like slopes or obstacles can affect the final cost.
- Site Conditions and Accessibility : Difficult terrain, dense vegetation, underground utilities, or limited access requires extra labor and equipment. A clear, accessible site reduces installation time and costs.
- Existing Fence Removal or Repair : Removing old fencing or extensive repairs before installation add to the project cost. Storm damage assessments are free, helping you understand repair expenses upfront.
